For weeks, all appearances were that prosecutors would call witnesses as part of a brief rebuttal case in the Karen Read retrial, giving them the opportunity to get the last word after damaging testimony from expert witnesses for the defense.

Norfolk Superior Court released a number of requests by both defense attorneys and prosecutors that could shape the way the jury deliberates about Karen Read's fate.

Karen Read tells reporters she didn't notice tensions between John O'Keefe and Brian Higgins at the Waterfall Bar and Grille shortly before O'Keefe's death.

Karen Read's defense called its first witness to the stand in the retrial over the death of her former boyfriend. The defense called an engineer who analyzes crash data to testify the data from Read's SUV showed no signs of a crash the night of her boyfriend's death.
